Tudor Monastery Farm is the hit 2013 reality format limited special that was mostly shot at the farm of the Weald and Downland Living Museum.
In 2013, the BBC Two hit reality and fictional limited docuseries, Tudor Monastery Farm premiered, and it still captures the imagination of new viewers.
One of the biggest questions asked by the public is when and where the docuseries is shot, due to how authentic the world of the story is. Tudor Monastery Farm is shot on a farm at the Weald and Downland Living Museum.
Why is Tudor Monastery Farm still so popular?
Considering that Tudor Monastery Farm first premiered in 2013, the show is still relatively popular amongst viewers.
This is because the series was able to capture the authenticity of the time it endeavoured to capture, which shows like Late Middle Ages Farm and Circa Fifteen-Hundred Farm were able to accurately represent periods of Victorian, Edwardian, and Wartime Farm life.
Where is Tudor Monastery Farm filmed?
Finding actual farms that would be able to encapsulate Victorian, Edwardian, and Wartime Farm life in the 2010s was quite a feat.
Most farms had adopted more contemporary and modern finishes, and little details highlighted the authenticity of the time the docuseries attempted to capture. Therefore, the producers of the show decided on a farm at the Weald and Downland Living Museum.
This only improved the profile of the living museum, as it has since used the fact that the farm was the main shooting location of Tudor Monastery Farm as a tourist attraction site.
A description of the living museum reads, “The Weald & Downland Living Museum – a hidden gem in the South East, quintessentially British in a picture perfect setting. We are a museum for those who want to see, touch and even smell what life was really like for people living in years gone by. Whether you are 5 or 95 there is something for everyone!”
